Java 9 Concurrency Cookbook - Second Edition

How to do it...

Follow these steps to implement the example:

1. Create a class named Event and specify that it implements the Delayed interface:

        public class Event implements Delayed {

2. Declare a private Date attribute named startDate:

        private final Date startDate;

3. Implement the constructor of the class to initialize its attribute:

        public Event (Date startDate) {           this.startDate=startDate;         }

4. Implement the compareTo() method. It receives a Delayed object as its parameter. Return the difference between the delay of the current object and the one passed as a parameter:

        @Override         public int compareTo(Delayed o) {           long result=this.getDelay(TimeUnit.NANOSECONDS)-o.getDelay                                                    (TimeUnit.NANOSECONDS);           if (result<0) {             return -1;  } else ...
